Abstract

Background and objectives - Serum uric acid is the most abundant and strongest anti-oxidant available in human body. Its role in stroke patients has been controversial. Some studies show, it is protective, some found it deleterious while some found it unrelated to severity or outcome. So we did this study is done to find out the role of serum uric acid in ischemic stroke patients .

Result and conclusion – We found no significant correlation of serum uric acid with risk factors of stroke as well as with severity and outcome of stroke.
